THE sTRHRT-RAILwAY.
The petition OF the Manchester Rail
way and Improvement Company, pre-
scented by Mr.. Sol. Cutchins at the
meeting of the Common Council of
Richmond Monday night, asks that the
company be allowed to lay q double
track from Broad and Ninth alone
Broad to Fourteenth, and thence TO and
across Main street TO some point at or
near Exchange alloy, and q single track
along Fourteenth street TO Dock, and
thence across Mayo's bridge to Man
chester.
The paper Was referred to the Com
mittec on Streets.
This company has already been
granted permission to lay tracks and
ian cars in this city from Msyo's
bridge up Hull street to Seventh, along
Seventh TO Decatur, up Decatur to
Twelfth, along Twelfth to McDo-
uough, and up this street to its
present terminus and to where
IT may hereafter be extended.
y hero is no question about obtaining
the right Of way over Mayo's bridge,
and the only trouble is about Four
tccnth street from Exchange alley TO
Cary street. where some of the mer-
chants oppose the undertaking. 1t is
60 be hoped that this opposition will
d. overcome, as the road would greatly
benefit Manchester and largely add to
tie convenience Of her people.
